It’s difficult to think that within the past month, we have received a tornado touchdown, lost two members of the North community, and said goodbye to a police officer in Fox Lake. In light of recent tragedies; however,...

The crowd silenced as Merrick Gentile hobbled off the field, holding his knee and wincing in pain.
